ANN ARBOR, Mich. — University of Michigan women’s lacrosse head coach Jennifer Ulehla announced the first recruiting class in program history on Thursday (Nov. 15). Team One will feature 28 incoming freshmen, who will arrive on campus in August 2013, and begin competition during the spring of 2014.

“Today is a monumental day for Michigan women’s lacrosse,” said Ulehla. “It marks the day that we officially become a team. This Michigan class of 2018 is the foundation of our program and will forever be the team that played an integral part in what will be a historical legacy of champions.

“These young women are pioneers who exemplify the true meaning of the words student-athlete. They embody the strong character, work ethic and integrity necessary for us to be successful in the classroom and on the field. We are proud to welcome each one of them and their families to the Michigan family. It will be our privilege to work beside them each and every day as we strive to be the leaders and the best in every way.”
